The life of the Pickering nuclear plant will be extended to at least 2026. Co-hosts Steve Paikin and John Michael McGrath dig into the politics of it. Then, they unpack the cost of repealing wage caps for Ontario's public-service workers. And finally, we kick off our programming for Civics Month leading up to the municipal elections on October 24. This week: Why some elected officials are leaving politics, while others don't seem interested in joining at all.

S3:E84: On today’s episode, we found a new sound effect for when we make a FRIENDS reference. Move over wine clink! JK, we will always keep the clink. Don’t worry. The cooler weather has arrived and we are feeling pretty goooood. Today we’re talking about the importance of tethering yourself to a community and why that’s more important than ever. We are working on an awesome new project that will help you do that, too! Community, coyotes, dirt water, day trips, and more all on today’s episode!

It’s the Canada Day long weekend, and it’s episode 49, and we’re above the 49th parallel — coincidence?!  This episode is all about moose, maple trees and hosers! Oh, and Panda loses the first World Cup Soccer bet of the season.

We talk everything Canada today from obscure Canadian tv shows to beavers to the most Canadian story ever told: a man from Saskatoon buying a canoe with a briefcase full of Canadian tire money.
